Material for Conversation Class
|
Hi everyone,
Once again I �m asking for your help.
I �m teaching general English/conversation classes to upper-intermediate students and I have used a lot of your recommendations in the past. Now I �m looking for something specific.
Do you know of a book/set of worksheets that combines the following:
- short text/story/article
- new vocabulary from that text
- grammar/idioms/fun aspects of English in connection to the text
- conversation questions and follow-up ideas
The main aspect should be conversation, not too much grammar or exercises.
Usually I use flashcards with conversation prompts, debate style conversation, short videos, games etc. but all of these seem to lack something. It always feels a bit like a puzzle that never ends.
I �m thinking of starting a series that combines all of the points mentioned above... But I would love to know if there is something like this already out there.
Thanks again for your help

Have a look at the British Council �s website
1) "Magazine" has lots of articles (with audio) and the tasks can be done both online or on paper. But not so much follow-up, just a couple of questions for discussion at the bottom of the tasks on the webpage. http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/magazine
